Main Ingredients
- 7 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 10 ounces large marshmallows
- 14 ounces Kraft caramels
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare the caramel mixture: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the Kraft caramels, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until the mixture melts completely and reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Coat the marshmallows: Using a toothpick or fork, dip each large marshmallow into the warm caramel mixture, ensuring it is fully covered.
- Roll in Rice Krispies: Immediately after dipping in caramel, roll each marshmallow thoroughly in the Rice Krispies cereal, pressing lightly to help the cereal stick.
- Set the treat: Place the coated marshmallow balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Remove the toothpicks carefully if used, then allow the treats to set and firm up at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- To prevent sticking, lightly butter your hands before rolling the marshmallow balls in Rice Krispies.
- Store these treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- For a festive touch, consider drizzling melted chocolate over the balls once set.
- Use parchment or wax paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking while the treats set.
